CANstruction

Hello beautiful 4-H peeps!

Here is the list of items that we still need to complete our 4-H Canstruction display:

32 (13.5 oz.) cans of Popeye's spinach

5 (55 oz.) cans of Bush's baked beans

18 (2 pound) bags brown sugar

3 packets of red McCormick seasoning (taco)

We are canstructing a hot dog (Bush beans) in a bun (brown sugar) with a can of Mountain Dew (Popeye's spinach with a seasoning packet label).  Ketchup and mustard have already been purchased along with some pinto beans to be used as a base for the hot dog bun. 

CANSTRUCTION is Wednesday, July 20, 8-10 am. 

Thanks for being so willing to help with donations!

Hi 4-Hers!

Don't forget that the next meeting is on March 12th, at 1:00-3:00 at the Chapel, and go in at door #9.

Whoever is doing demonstrations, don't forget to come prepared to present them.

Hope to see you all at the meeting!!
